Quotes About Collective

Collective bargaining has always been the bedrock of the American labor movement. I hope that you will continue to anchor your movement to this foundation. Free collective bargaining is good for the entire Nation.

Legend and myth, all tangled in an alphabet of trees remembered, not always with understanding, but with wonder. With awe.
